Streaking toward 100th

Mark Bubniak never has emphasized his Maple Hill girls' basketball team's Patroon Conference winning streak — a span that reached 99 games Wednesday with a 62-27 decision over Coxsackie.

"I honestly don't know if they know," Bubniak said. "I don't want them to be in tune with it. I want them thinking that it is the fourth game of the season Friday, and we're trying to get to 4-0."

Friday night, the Wildcats play at Chatham. A win sends the streak to 100 games, and, yes, the players are aware of it.

"Our next one is going to be big, and it is not going to be easy," Maple Hill senior guard Lindsay Mannion said. "We've got to keep it going. We're going to work our hardest to do it.
